[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have placed a file called .nomedia in each of the image folders I don't want in the gallery, but they remain.

I've restarted the phone, Force Stop, and Clear Data. I've unmounted and remounted the SD card, manually, and through the USB mount.

Even deleted an image through the gallery and it refreshed.

To create the file I tried:

-touch .nomedia

-creating a file called .nomedia in a text editor

-empty .nomedia files, and ones with something in them

-creating it on the phone, and on the computer

The file has no 'hidden extension' I'm sure of that, especially when I used touch. I can see the file in ASTRO when viewing hidden files, it is correct.

I've either gone completely crazy, my phone is messing with me, or I've overlooked something very simple.

Any one have any ideas?

Running stock 2.2 right now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Add a "." to the beginning of folder name instead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Yes, I know that works. But I would prefer not to do that. Because I can't easily browse to those folders, as I need them for other things in different applications, some of which won't let me view the hidden files.

:(

I am beginning to wonder if I should try a wipe of the SD card and put everything back on. It seems that there is something fishy going on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
I've recently done this with several folders on my N1, a few that had ringtone mp3's in it and some others with jpg's I didn't want showing up in notification or gallery.

After remounting the SD card, they no longer showed in Gallery... but you've done lots more than that, so I can't imagine what the problem could be.

I just created a new file using Ghost Explorer, but have also done it in the past mounting the SD card and creating the filename (touch)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Ok, so not sure how I fixed it, because I went the nuclear route. Backed it up, formatted, and copied everything back. Also opened the gallery while it was unmounted, and recreated all the .nomedia files.

Something there fixed it...

Wait a minute, maybe not... I don't see any images apart from the Picasa linked ones :)

The logcat actually showed that it was finding and ignoring .nomedia files though.

Well, I'll just have to find a happy medium. I'll give it some time to see if it will scan for more, and check for extra .nomedia in the wrong places.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Oh how lovely, they're all back. :( And I still see a whole lot of .nomedia being ignored in the logcat.

Eh, enough fiddling for the day.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Could you show us the lines in logcat where it's ignoring .nomedia?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Oh, it's not very helpful. No mention of the directory. Just a lot of lines saying

D/ ( 3214): found .nomedia, skipping directory

Over and over, exactly the same.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sistum Id:
You say you placed a file called .nomedia in folders you want hidden but they still show. What about folders that already have .nomedia, are they showing as well? Maybe, if you haven't tried. Copy an orignal .nomedia file from a folder not showing up in your gallery to your personal folders.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
It sounds like you created the .nomedia file from your phone directly. I don't know how that works, but here's what worked for me:

Open text editor (notepad in Windows), File -> Save As, give ".nomedia" as the name, and under "Save as type", use "All files". This made a file that worked for me.

Also make sure you have the file browser showing file extensions, so you know that .nomedia file isn't actually .nomedia.xxx.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Yeah, I've tried that too, what I think is that there is some sort of cache or something in the gallery app that I an't get rid of. I've tried another gallery app form the market, and it works with the .nomedia perfectly. If this really ends up driving me crazy I'll wait until I flash CM6 and see if that fixes it, just don't want to right now while I'm away on vacation.

No, if you read my original post I've created the file many times, many ways. I know about extensions, I know how these things work. I've always just used touch before to do it, but this time since it didn't work I tried many other ways just to be sure. ls -al on the directory shows it is .nomedia exactly, nothing more, nothing less.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] productofusa:
Yeah i'm in the same boat, i've got Google maps icons in the gallery and some other assorted stuff that doesn't belong there. Did a Google search on the .nomedia thing, tried to incorporate a .nomedia (TXT) file into the offending folder a couple different ways but they're still there. I think i'll do the same, flash CM6 then go from there.

Interesting thought about the cache thing, I wonder if it could be something related?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Did you all clear the Media cache? I'd say force close it, clear its cache, then relaunch it?

Something weird is going on.. I had this happen too, but only because I hadn't remounted my SD card. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Yup, I mentioned that in the first post. Force stopped it and cleared the cache.

There seems to literally be nothing left to do other than try a complete wipe, which I will do when I get CM6 on it.

[TG01 Themes and Apps] Jonous:
Wouldn't wanna fry my phone, if you read carefully you'll see Leo users that tried it say their phones overheated seriously even with a small increase of about 1100mhz and the gain wasn't noticeable. So why bother?

[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
totally agree with you, why overclock? why make the battery worse when it is already terrible? also 1ghz is fast enough for me and loads of other people.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] HentaiZ:
overclock?? this powerplant?? r u crazy? it has a 1GHZ processor for God's sake ! :p

[TG01 Themes and Apps] f513toy:
Overclocking not a great idea

Why overclock? 1GHZ (faster than most) runs everything just great. Good idea if you want keep charging your phone every hour. I would only recommend if you are going to stick a mugen 3900mAh battery under the hood.:(
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Sztunt1:
We must overclock the kernel in android:D HD2 is very fast on 1200mhz in android overclocked kernel:)
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
Which is why the HD2 has terrible battery life running Android ;)

It has a 1230mAh battery. Our TG's has only 1000mAh. And less RAM to work with.
[EVO 4G General] dpetchy0817:
Im new to Android coming from winmo, and this might be a noob question but is it possible to root the evo (with or without nand) without wiping / reseting the phone? If not is there a way to backup apps and settings before using something like simple root? I also already have both OTA's.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
if you just want a basic root, definitely go with unrevoked. it doesn't require a wipe. if it were me, with a fresh phone, i would root with unrevoked, get titanium backup from the app store, backup my phone, then do a full root with nand unlock, update to the latest and greatest radio and OTA(it's built into most roms nowadays) and bam, enjoy the rooted freedom! :cool:
[EVO 4G General] dpetchy0817:
Thanks for the help. I had been using Unrevoked but after the last OTA it no longer works. So any other ideas?

If i flash one of the froyo roms for my evo and want to go back to 2.1 if i dont like not having the camera, is it as easy as wiping and flahing a rooted 2.1 rom?

Any help appreciated
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campchi:
once you have full rooted access(NAND) then you can always flash roms at your favor. if you've flashed 2.2, you can always flash another 2.1 rom, just make sure you wipe everything, as in "factory reset" and "davlik cache". then just flash the rom that you want.

Hey all,

First up, apologies if this topic is buried somewhere, I searched to no avail.

K, issue: when attempting to make a gc I get to the step after you have sdk saved to the c/. However at the point where you type in command prompt: adb devices, it reports back as if nothing is connected. Now this is an indication that the drivers are not installed or missing. I have done everything I can think of and have read to do, uninstall - reconnect...no workie, tried to reinstall from the sdk drivers, again no good.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so were you able to fix it and if so can you help a brotha out. I mean I'm over here doing all kinds of cool flashing to my wifes HD2 and getting jealous.

Thanks in advance for any help you ask can provide

Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.

- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

[Streak 5 General] wondercoolguy:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/dell-streak-very-likely-coming-to-atandt-any-day-now/

You may have heard chatter recently that Dell's Streak is destined for AT&T as soon as July 19 -- and now, with a little dot-connecting, we're pretty much on board with that theory. We've just been tipped with some images of a corporate-owned AT&T store where contractors are in the process of installing new kiosks in the "Smartphones" area of the floor under tight security; they've apparently been made to sign NDAs and a number of employees "are already on the chopping block" for trying to figure out what it is. We suppose it could be something Captivate-related, but considering the level of security here, we think it's something much bigger. Like 5 inches or so, if you catch our drift. Catch another shot after the break.

Regardless, AT&T does have the 30 day return so it's not like we're locked into it if it doesn't live up to expectations.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyron:
The topic says it all, is there a way to verify the integrity of the nandroid backups we make? Sometimes after doing nandroid backup and I have to come back to restore it, i find out that the backup is corrupt or faulty and the nandroid backup wont work. Either it will hang in the restoring process where the little dots "..." keep going or it says cant restore or something
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
I think with Clockworkmod recovery will give you an MD5 sum for every back up, not a 100% sure tho.

Can anyone confirm? Is there a way to verify if we're using amon's 1701?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boostenmkiv:
A MD5 sum is only going to help provide integrity that the FILE contents haven't changed since you did the MD5 hash of the backup...this doesn't actually verify that the backup will restore properly.

I too wondered this same thing as i've had backups that wouldn't restore.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattb3:
You can always try to restore the nandroid before doing anything else. I guess the catch may be that if it does fail, who knows what state your phone might be in. What about backing up twice and comparing the md5sum?
